JAKARTA - Indonesian Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag) Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri said that around 68 percent of the population in Indonesia who are productive groups is the support of President Prabowo's mission to bring this country to economic growth of up to eight percent.
"We, the ranks of the Ministry of Trade, are assigned by the President to oversee this economic growth mission, reaching eight percent. However, of course, it requires the role of all parties," said the Deputy Minister of Trade during a working visit at Pandu Market, Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, November 19.
He emphasized that the achievement of economic growth of eight percent is not an easy thing, but will be realized through collaboration and cooperation of all parties, from the central government to regions, both provinces/districts/cities.
"We believe that with the potential of productive groups reaching 68 percent of the total population in Indonesia, we will be able to achieve economic growth of eight percent," he said.
In addition, said the Deputy Minister of Trade, the MSME sector is one of the pillars of economic growth because MSMEs have more than 60 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) that has the potential to penetrate the international market.
Therefore, the MSME sector also needs to be massive and well socialized, especially for business actors in traditional markets.
According to the Deputy Minister of Trade, the presence of traditional markets is also very fundamental to drive regional and national economies.
The Deputy Minister of Trade during his visit to Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, in addition to visiting traditional markets and handing over assistance to traders, also handed over several consumer protection awards to a number of regions ranging from provincial governments to regencies/cities throughout Indonesia.
